Boundary Waters Podcast Ep. 124 “The Misadventure Before the Adventure”
Rox and Reese Richards set out to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with a 50 day trip in the Boundary Waters. This is the story of their trip, and what Rox calls “the misadventure before the adventure.” Within the first nine days they encountered high water, a canoe wreck leading to an unplanned night on a river bank, followed by an abrupt departure from the wilderness. In spite of what many people would consider to be a major setback, the couple decided to start again, ultimately visiting 81 lakes and reaching their goal of 50 contiguous days in the BWCAW. It’s an inspiring story of love and adventure in the Wilderness!
Just after high water conditions led to the loss of their canoe.
